Sign in with Apple

PlayFab should make sure to stay on top of this new feature from Apple:

"Sign In with Apple will be available for beta testing this summer. It will be required as an option for users in apps that support third-party sign-in when it is commercially available later this year.

This means that, theoretically, anytime you see an option to sign-in to a service with Facebook or Google, you should also see an option to sign in with your Apple account. Thus, developers will be required to update their apps to integrate “Sign in with Apple.”"

I feel like since this is a "game breaker" for those that use any social login system on iOS, PlayFab might be "forced" to implement it if they want to keep offering any social login on an iOS platform by the time iOS 13 comes out.

Yeah, possibly. And I know it's been on Playfab's roadmap to get Game Center login working, too. Talk about untimely.

It was already stated in the OP, but I wanted to include some references for those who are curious. Sign-In with Apple will indeed be required.

Thanks! It definitely helps to have the official source referenced.

I can confirm that Apple will make it mandatory for those apps which required sign in with Facebook or Google.

Unfortunately it is now a requirement, which means it will likely need to be supported by PlayFab. However, it may be possible to use the PlayFab LoginWithOpenIdConnect API as it seems Sign in with Apple uses Open ID. Anyone have any experience with this?

What Apple did was add an OIDC-based auth. We checked, and their JWT was lacking a nonce, which is non-standard, but we updated our OIDC login to allow for that. Unfortunately, we've also found in testing that their known-good configuration file also violates the OIDC spec by having a mismatch between the issuer and the URL. We're investigating to see if we can work around that (our OIDC library follows the standard, which is why it's tricky).

@Brendan Thanks for the info. We got our Title to successfully link to "Sign in with Apple" using CreateOpenIdConnection, but unfortunately the actual sign-in doesn't work in-client, and the error returned is

Signature validation failed. Unable to match keys:

We've finally gotten it working with PlayFab's LoginWithOpenIdConnect API! The Connection ID and Client ID need to both be the Client ID used in Apple's service setup, and the Client Secret can be generated with a variety of languages (ruby and python are easiest)
